A good little head

by Leave a Comment

This has been a fabulously busy week so far!

I did my first scheduled #techniquetuesday live art stream in my Facebook group Art Journal Junkies on Tuesday and today I hung my art display at the local South Surrey Rec Centre/Semiahmoo Art Society Headquarters. (It will be on display for the month of May, 2019.)

The video from Tuesday can now be viewed and shared on my YouTube channel.

I will go back and take a nighttime photo of my window display to get a better/non-glare photo to share with all of you. All pieces are available for sale. Please contact the Semiahmoo Arts Society during the exhibition for purchasing a piece. (604) 536-8333 .

This weekend, I will also be completing my latest commission piece. I cannot wait to share it with the owner and then you. Stay tuned for that unveiling!

To enjoy next weeks #livestream, please CLICK HERE to join my art journal group on Facebook.

Have a lovely week and keep smiling.

Alice meets Miss Mary

by Leave a Comment

Today I played in my art journal finding a few similarities between Miss Alice and Miss Mary Poppins.

One of which….. Mary has a very outspoken umbrella with a parrots head, while Miss Alice comes across an angry flock of umbrella vultures in a waterfall in the Tulgey Woods.

In the video below you can watch a #timelapse of me playing in my handmade coptic bound art journal. This journal is one of 3 that are part of a Round Robin focusing on Alice from Wonderland and her many other possible adventures.

I have two fun and exciting FREE #artjournalprompts for you to join in this December!

If you prefer the warm, cozy and bright holiday art inspiration, the Online Jingle Bell Party will be right up your alley!

If you want to dive a little deeper and darker, you just might LOVE the Twisted Sugar Plum X-mas! Be inspired by the likes of Time Burton, Alfred Hitchcock, and so on……

The prompts for both events are the same, it just depends on how you interpret them 😉 .

The creativity begins on Saturday December 1, 2018 and runs through to December 24th, 2018.

 

Share in the fun adventure and post your daily journal creations with the HASHTAGs #jinglejournal #jinglejournal2018 #atwistedxmas and #atwistedxmas2018!

Sketches are great too. It does not have to be a complete journal page creation 🙂 .

I will be posting my journal pages I complete on Instagram and here my blog (then shared in an album on the

‘Art Journal Junkies’ Facebook page). I may even live stream some of the creation process on my Twitch channel 🙂 .
Happy Holidays everyone!
********************************************************
FYI:
This is just a fun, non-religious art play. Please just keep in mind that there are some young Artists that will be seeing the art that you post for this event. All art must be PG-13 (ie: some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). Thx
Keep creating and smiling! Nicci
********************************************************
FYI: You do not have to create everyday to be able to join in the fun. This is a ‘no stress’ party. 🙂
